  1. Hey guys, sorry if this is going to sound redundant, but I'm getting desperate to find this info. I have the Daytime Brightlites DRL Edge 2 kit and I also have HID's on my 2013 Edge Sport, and something isn't working correctly. I've been researching this, and I'm wondering if the dealership changed something when they added my HID kit that is causing the DRL kit to not work. Dan and I did some testing and I can get them to come on when I supply them with constant power from the positive battery terminal, or a fuse that's on all of the time (like the one for the rear seat releases, power mirrors, power seats, etc). However, if I use a fuse that should only be on with the ignition...nothing! Has anyone else been able to run an HID kit along with DRL pipes or the Edge 2 kit from Daytime Brightlites? Thanks in advance for any info!
  2. I'm having the opposite issue. My HID's are fine, but the DRL's aren't working properly. I'd be interested to hear how everyone wired up their cars so they have HID's and DRL's on a sport. Mine is a 2013 with the autostart feature and California setup if that makes any difference. Someone said we have DRL's stock by law in California, but I've never seen that. Any advice from the wiring experts would help!

  4. Hey whiteis33, do you have a gallery of different versions you've done? Do you do swaps or would I not have headlights for a week while you are working on this project? I want to darken my headlights (perhaps blacked out to match my 2013 Sport grill), and adding angel eye rings or LED strips would be awesome if it looked clean. I have the HID upgrade and all of my bulbs have been replaced by LEDs, so the front turn signals are switchback superwhite (parking) / amber (turn signal) "intelligent" SMDs (no hyper-blinking). I don't like the chrome strip above the grill, and I which the headlights were a bit darker to match as well. Let me know what you can do. I couldn't message you directly since I'm new to the forums (my car is only a few weeks old). ;P
  5. My name is Nic, About a month ago my wife and I welcomed our second baby, a daughter into the world. We already have a 22 month old son, and 2 car seats plus gear did not fill in my small luxury / sport car. Last Friday I took delivery of a shiny new 2013 Ford Edge Sport in White Platinum Tricoat, with every option available and then some. It took about 2 months to get me one, since they couldn't find any in the entire state of California, and had to make me one at the factory (ironically that was my job when I was getting my 2 college degrees). I had the dealer install HIDs, since some idiot decided the Sport model wouldn't be getting these, even though the Limited model has them. I also had the dealer install the lighted door sills, since my last car was lowered and I don't want to trip getting in and out of the ES, not to mention it looks cool and will match the interior lighting scheme. The dealer also tinted the windows with limo tint for me. The first night I had the ES I took off the front license plate bracket and rear license plate. I don't have my permanent one yet, but I'm using my personalized license plate (Save the Oceans!) with my "nicname" on it, and a real carbon fiber license plate frame, since that is a good contrast for the white car. I also replaced every bulb with superwhite LEDs, since I hate the yellowish OEM bulbs. I just ordered the dome light and puddle light upgrades from http://www.daytimebrightlites.com/, and I'll be installing his new version front bumper LED / light bars when they are ready in a few weeks. I also installed a K&N drop in air filter. I want a CAI, but Ford likes to void warranties, so I didn't want to risk that. I'm thinking of dropping this thing a bit with an Eibach ProKit, but I'm not sure how it will ride. My wife didn't like the stiff ride of my last car, but I loved it. With two kids, I want it to have a comfortable ride so I don't wake them up or jostle them around going over a bump. Has anyone done this yet? This thing sits too high (and has a bit wheel gap) and the front end jumps up when you hit the gas, that's uber-annoying to me. I also have silicon covers for my key fobs, because I didn't want them getting scratched up. I bought blue for the main one, and silver / gray for the spare. You can find them on Amazon.com pretty cheap in about every color. I also have some emblem blackouts coming soon. I ordered them with the other stuff before I even had the car, but the guy apparently was sick and slow to ship. I used to work for Ford and my father and grandfathers both retired from there, but I wanted to black out the emblems because it's dated. I think the word "Ford" will be in brushed aluminum, and the rest will be all black. I'm pretty excited about that. I think it'll be here tonight. I have pics on FB, but I'll post some here when I get better ones. I haven't had a chance to take really good ones yet, and I would wait for all the mods to be done anyhow. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else has done.
